I attached a link to a page that has all of the trunk mounted bike racks we offer that have been confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Volkswagen Golf.

The Thule Passage part # TH910XT that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit, but if you are looking for the nicest rack we offer that will fit your vehicle I would recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV because it is easiest to install and comes with a locking system for both the rack and the bike.

The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft of the rack. And there is also an integrated cable lock in the last bike position to deter bike theft.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
